@emmaruthrundle.bsky.social Happy release day! Bandcamp still doesn't seem to have automatic releasing, so the album is still listed as a pre-order, so only 2 tracks can be downloaded. I think you have to press some some sort of "release the album" button somewhere.

iOS27: still can't shuffle a playlist by album. I also tried getting Siri to do it but it said it couldn't find the playlist. Music for iOS continues to be a substandard disappointment. Siri still doesn't do what it needs to. No wonder they let iOS27 slide out without fanfare.

watched a couple of things with the kid yesterday that coincidentally both had: 1. Christopher Walken. 2. A character sending another version of themself a warning message. The first was Rose Of Nevada ("get off the boat now"), the second was Severance ("never come back here").

While I do love The Bobby Lees, and I know they were on hiatus for a while, but still… four years wait for an eight-track (including one cover version) new album that clocks in at 20 minutes does feel a little on the light side.

On track to achieve @hollywoodtheatre.org's Can You Watch 100 Films In A Year challenge. As of 31st May, I've watched 74 films on the big screen totaling 136 hours and 49 minutes. Of those, 56 films at 98 hours and 58 minutes where at The Hollywood.

I saw The Man Who Fell To Earth at @omsiedu.bsky.social at the weekend. Apparently, Bowie was so thin that they had to get his clothes from children's departments. Which is ironic as the film's production designer is called Brian Eatwell. Perhaps they should have hired Catherine Stayofftheblow.

Another Friday of having to contact artists on @bandcamp.com to ask them to release their albums manually as apparently the platform still can’t do that automatically. Which, after existing for 18 years, is an inexcusable missing feature.

Started the audiobook of @robinince.bsky.social's Normally Weird And Weirdly Normal. I can see a lot of myself in it. I had a late diagnosis of ADHD and Generalized Anxiety Disorder, which explains so much. It's an excellent book but it's personally heavy going as it's digging up a lot of thoughts.

@hollywoodtheatre.org Hi! At the Pipe Organ Pictures screening on Saturday, it was announced that there's another Buster Keaton POP on 28th March and that tickets were on sale. There's nothing on the site for that, so I'm wondering if it's happening or not. Thanks!

Fat-fingered my phone and it opened a contact who I used to go to school with and hadn't heard from in, I dunno, 20 years or so (I should clear out my contacts). Decided to see what he was up to. Just one public-facing Facebook page with a grainy photo of him & a note saying he died in 2021. Ho hum.

That, as they say, is a wrap. I saw 127 films, with a total running time of 229 hours and 2 minutes, on the big screen in 2025. Of those, 92, with a total running time of 166 hours and 39 minutes, were at @hollywoodtheatre.org.

@hollywoodtheatre.org Before Lady Snowblood, Chloe told people not to talk + also not to whisper as people can still hear you. THANK YOU! I'm so tired of people talking + whispering during films.

What's like @ynabofficial.bsky.social but without the newly-added awful UI that's getting worse every release? I've tried Monarch and Copilot Money, but they want me to add emojis to everything I create. Literally can't add a savings goal without adding an emoji to the goal title. So those are out.

@hollywoodtheatre.org Hello. Sometimes at the end of the night, on the tables near the entrance, there are free bags of popcorn and a post-it note saying Free Corn. Have you considered replacing the post-it with a large cardboard cutout of Missy Elliott with a speech bubble saying Get Ur Free Corn?

Also, the nearby usher grinned and said they pay $19.75 an hour if you wanted a job

On this day 55 years ago, blubber went boom at the Oregon Coast. That's when officials made the legendary decision to blow up a dead whale. Here's a look back at the explosive piece of Oregon lore with a 2020 story by OPB's Tiffany Camhi written ahead of the whale of a tale's 50th anniversary.

‘It was like a blubber snowstorm’: Why Oregon blew up a whale in 1970

The exploding whale is a piece of Oregon lore that just won’t go away. It’s one of those real-life stories that just sounds too strange to be real.

If Apple's mandated RTO is what gave us liquid glass, that's an exceptionally strong argument that RTO achieves almost nothing in terms of quality improvement. Less than a year until iOS 27 and hopefully much less liquid glass. Preferably none, but that's not going to happen, I assume.

Urgh. Ex-colleague posted a pro-Kirk comment on LinkedIn. I was trying to pinch and zoom the UI on my phone, but accidentally tapped the like button. Instantly tapped it again and then unfollowed him, but am mildly panicking that LinkedIn will send a "reacted to a post" email to a load of people.
